UNC Asheville to Hold Third Annual Math Literacy Summit; Keynote Address by Noted Mathematician William Velez
Mon, 10/12/2009 - 12:00am
Math skills have the power to change young lives, so argues noted mathematician and University of Arizona professor William Velez. He will tell his own story in a keynote address at UNC Asheville's Third Annual Math Literacy Summit. The summit, aimed at K-12 teachers, parents and students, will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at UNC Asheville's Highsmith University Union. The day's activities will include the talk by Velez as well as a number of workshops. Refreshments and free childcare will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.
The summit will begin with the keynote address by Velez, entitled "Mathematics Changed My Life," at 10 a.m. In the talk, he will describe his struggle with college mathematics as a student, and his decision to persevere and overcome those challenges. Velez works to promote mathematics and increase the number of mathematics majors among Hispanics and Native Americans. He is one of the founding members of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science, and has served as its president.
"If our society is to survive and prosper, we have to produce a mathematically literate society," Velez said. "I have decided to dedicate the final years of my academic life to convince our students that mathematics is relevant, that it is fascinating, and that students arriving on campus should increase the mathematical content of their course work. It is important that parents, K-12 teachers and university mathematicians understand how critical mathematics is for our students and for our communities."
Eight workshops will follow Velez's talk. The workshops will address credit fundamentals, credit reports and scores, health connections to math and statistics, mart and art, and technology. A special session for parents will also be offered on helping students with math homework. Two workshops on credit will be offered in both English and Spanish.
The event is sponsored by the UNC Asheville Mathematics Department's Asheville Initiative for Math (AIM) with support from RBC Bank and the AT&T Foundation. AIM's mission is to promote excellence in math education and universal math literacy in the Asheville region.
For more information, contact Sam Kaplan, UNC Asheville associate professor of mathematics, at 828/232-5192.

Democrats are committed to living within our means while investing in the future, cutting the deficit, and continuing to aggressively attack waste, fraud and abuse. The GOP spending bill (H.R. 1) that passed on February 19th fails to meet these goals, and cuts spending on the backs of middle class families. And even worse, the GOP bill will cost more than 800,000 private and public jobs according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute.
We agree with the President that we must out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build the rest of the world. By contrast, the GOP spending bill:
- Makes devastating cuts in education
- Threatens American innovation
- Diminishes investments in rebuilding America
- Imposes cutbacks in public safety
- Harms those hurting most - including seniors, veterans, and working families with children
Learn more about how H.R. 1 would impact education, innovation, rebuilding our infrastructure, public safety, seniors, veterans, and working families:
- Pell Grants: Slashes the maximum Pell Grant by $845 -- from the current maximum of $5,550 to $4,705. This GOP bill will lower the amount of aid that 9.4 million college students are projected to receive.
- Head Start: 218,000 children will be immediately dropped from the Head Start program, due to the Republicans' $1 billion cut. 55,000 teachers, teacher assistants and related staff would lose their jobs.
- Title I: Federal support for K-12 education would be severely cut. Includes cuts of nearly $700 million in help in reading and math for disadvantaged children - meaning 2,400 schools serving 1 million disadvantaged children would lose funding. About 9,000 teachers and aides would be laid off.
- Special Education: Reduces funding for Special Education by $558 million, resulting in more than 7,000 special education teachers and staff losing their jobs.
- Job Training: Grants to states for job training would be slashed by $3.6 billion - hurting America's ability to win the race for jobs and industry in the 21st century and cutting training for more than 200,000 Americans out of work through no fault of their own.
- National Science Foundation: 5,500 fewer researchers, compared to FY 2010 funding (and 20,000 fewer researchers, compared to President's FY 2011 request) would be supported at the National Science Foundation - undermining America's efforts at breakthrough basic research in science and engineering.
- NIH: $1.6 billion in cuts, compared to FY 2010 funding (and $2.5 billion in cuts, compared to President's FY 2011 request) for the National Institutes of Health. Such a severe cut would require NIH to reduce support for over 25,000 existing research grants and scale back promising clinical trials, representing a significant setback in research for such diseases as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
- Clean Energy Research: $1.7 billion in cuts, compared to FY 2010 funding (and $2.3 billion in cuts, compared to President's FY 2011 request) in clean energy research - including slashing Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy programs and the Department of Energy's Office of Science, which would significantly delay much-needed research in clean energy technology and cost thousands of clean energy jobs.
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Reduces funding for NIST, which promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing the building blocks of technological advancements, by $162 million below FY 2010. This steep reduction could lead to construction halts and damage the Administration's innovation initiatives.
- Wall Street Reform: Jeopardizes the economic recovery by undercutting the implementation of the Wall Street Reform law, which is designed to protect consumers and prevent future taxpayer-funded bailouts, by cutting and hamstringing the funding of watchdog agencies charged with preventing future Bernie Madoff-type Ponzi schemes (CFTC & SEC) and of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Rebuilding America
- Overall Infrastructure: Cuts key investments in rebuilding America, which will lead to the loss of more than 300,000 American jobs, primarily in the private sector.
- High-Speed/Intercity Rail: Zeroes out funding for High Speed Rail Corridors and Intercity Passenger Rail Services, including rescinding $2.5 billion in high-speed rail projects that have already been awarded.
- Clean Water Infrastructure: 750 fewer wastewater and drinking water projects that communities can finance with federal assistance, leading to the loss of nearly 40,000 American jobs.
- TIGER Surface Transportation Projects: A loss of 25,000 new construction jobs and the cancellation of 76 projects in 40 states for TIGER surface transportation projects.
- Air Traffic Control: $234 million in cuts in the efforts to improve our nation's air traffic control system.
Public Safety
- Homeland Security Grants: Reduces funding for FEMA State and Local Programs by $1.4 billion, which will significantly cut funding to support port and transit security and funding to hire first responders.
- Border Security Technology: Funding for border security technology is cut by about $250 million - slowing efforts to better secure the border with new and much-needed border surveillance technologies.
- Food Safety: USDA food safety inspections would be cut by $88 million - making it impossible to conduct daily inspections of meat and poultry plants. This would force many meat and poultry plants to shut down for more than a month in 2011, resulting in estimated economic losses of up to $11 billion.
Impact on Those Who Are Hurting Most
- Nutrition Assistance: The WIC nutrition assistance program would be cut by more than $740 million, compared to the FY 2010 level - which would require thousands of parents, pregnant mothers, and children to be dropped from the program.
- Low-Income Energy Assistance: Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) would be cut by almost $400 million - leaving out in the cold many of the seniors and families with children in need of help in paying high energy bills.
- Title X: Title X is eliminated, which provides life-saving health services, including HIV testing, cancer screening, blood-pressure testing, and contraceptive services, for more than 5 million low-income women, two-thirds of whom are uninsured.
- Housing for Homeless Veterans: Eliminates a program of housing vouchers for homeless veterans. In January 2009, more than 75,000 veterans were homeless and over the course of the year nearly twice that many (136,000) spent at least one night in a homeless shelter.

Gold has been in a trading range since the aggressive price action last fall when it briefly tested $1900. The performance of gold for the last 6 months has disappointed many gold bulls who expected the price to be over $2,000 by now. And as we approach the summer months, there are reasons to believe that gold will remain flat in the near future.
Throughout this bull market, Gold has shown a consistent pattern of weakness during the spring and the summer months and strength during the fall and the winter months. Although May has generally been a good month- June, July, and August have usually been weak months.
However, this may be a golden opportunity to take advantages of bargains, both in the physical market and in the shares. While the price of gold has not done much the last couple of months, there seems to be a consensus among many industry leaders that gold will make new highs towards the end of this year. If gold does not make new highs this year, it would be the first time in 11 years. The chart shows the average seasonal strength of gold since the beginning of the bull market in year 2000.
The summer doldrums may also present an opportunity for stock pickers to take out their wish list and scope out some bargain gold mining shares. Gold equities have lagged behind the price of gold. Many gold mining companies are screaming bargains at these price levels. Some of these companies are trading at the same levels they did 3 to 4 years ago, despite the fact that the price of gold has doubled. Many in the gold industry believe that this fall may be the time when the equities finally breakout of their trading range and make new highs. The chart below shows the seasonal strength of the gold bugs index (HUI).
The sentiment is close to an all time low for the mining shares, but profitability is up significantly. We have also seen an increase in mergers and acquisitions, which may be an early indicator that things are about to turn around. The time to buy is when everyone is selling, and this summer might just be the time to step in and pick up some bargain deals.
I recommend retail investors to buy things like, McEwen Mining (MUX), Eurasian Minerals (EMXX), Yamana Gold (AUY), Newmont Mining (NEM), Goldcorp (GG), Barrick Gold (ABX), New Gold (NGD). For the more conservative investors, EFT's like SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), and Central Fund of Canada (CEF), might be a better option.

Attention: There are two cats living in our Apartment!
The room No.1 (green room) is approximately 25 square meters in size in my Berlin apartment (175sqm in total). It is a typical Berlin Enfilade Apartment of 1900 (front building 4th floor without elevator) in which I live.
Kitchen, balcony, shared bath, free parking in front of the door. Towels and linen included.
The apartment has a special charm, because it has the entire length of a 16m corridor and also in parallel with 4 rooms with double doors are connected in a straight line. It is luxuriously appointed with beautiful high quality art and design classics.
The room has two beds: a broad (140 x 200 cm), very comfortable double bed and one single bed (90 x 200 cm), radio, CD, cable TV, wardrobe, large boxes for storage of linen, etc., shelves, a working desk at the window and a chair.
In addition to the guest room is a second (guestroom No2.). The two rooms are connected by a door (normally locked if booked by different guests), so they are ideal for several people (eg parents + 2 children) or two couples.
A fast Wi-Fi network is free of charge throughout the apartment. The apartment is a Non smoking!
The kitchen, refrigerator and bath can of course be shared. The kitchen is fully equipped (stove, kettle, coffee machine, etc.). Coffee and tea are available free of charge.
I`m also living in the apartment. By car you can always find a free parking place in front of the door. The host speaks English.
The apartment is not fitting for "Party", because I make a point of a quiet and relaxing atmosphere and a respectful association.
It is strictly forbidden to smoke in the apartment or receive other people.
There are also two little cats living in the apartment. But for sure the guestrooms are allways closed for them.

RIDGWAY – Residents up and down the valley between Ridgway and Ouray noticed a tall column of flames on Friday afternoon (Nov. 30) on the west side of the Uncompahgre River in the vicinity of Liza Clarke's cattle ranch and tree nursery.
The Ridgway Volunteer Fire Department responded to what was a fire in Clarke's biodiesel fuel shed at 6 Lynx Road, off County Road 23.
According to Undersheriff Joel Burk, a "controlled burn" on the property was whipped up by the wind and spread to the building in which Clarke and her sons process and store biodiesel for use in their farm tractor. "The building was a total loss," Burk said, though the fire was prevented from spreading to a nearby propane tank and the Clarke residence.
"It could have been much worse," said Clarke, who watched the conflagration. "It was scary. Nobody got hurt. No animals were killed. And the house was spared."
Clarke said she and her sons have been collecting cooking grease from area restaurants "for about four years" and converting it to biodiesel. "It's kind of a messy, difficult process," she said. "I'm not sure we're going to be doing it again soon."

Every losing presidential campaign has had its, "Oh, four-letter word," moment in which the well-attuned political observer can actually hear the sound of a flushing toilet. Michael Dukakis had his moment atop an M-1 tank. George H.W. Bush had his moment at a simulated grocery store checkout counter. John McCain had his moment when he picked that running mate with extra baggage. President Obama recently had his moment when he uttered, "doing fine."
It's probably not his fault. It could have easily been a glitch in the teleprompter, or a glitch in the teleprompter-operator. Nevertheless, serious damage has been inflicted upon the re-election effort, and we can only hope that the poor teleprompter-operator is well equipped for a Siberian winter.
Public perception is a cruel beast in the world of politics because it has a way of manifesting itself into an uncontrollable and false reality, which can actually get innocent people killed.
Despite the fact that Democrats occupied the White House through each of the world wars, as well as Korea and the first half of Vietnam, the modern public perception is that the Democratic Party is weak on national defense.
Upon inheriting the Vietnam War from the Democrats, Richard M. Nixon decided that more bombs, as well as an invasion of Cambodia, were necessary to achieve, "peace with honor." In the meantime, the Mi Lai Massacre was revealed, the National Guard opened fire on protestors at Kent State University, and AP photographer Nick Ut captured a little Vietnamese girl getting napalmed by American airpower. Combined with his tendency to have his subordinates break, enter and steal documents, Nixon and the Republican Party became forever publically perceived as the hawkish bad-guys of American politics.
In the world of two main political choices, the Democratic Party became the publicly perceived hangout for anti-establishment peaceniks.
Although President Carter was a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, his time in office did little to alter the common public perception of Democrat weakness on national defense. After enduring five months of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, he launched Operation Eagle Claw, a joint Special Forces operation to rescue the 52 Americans held captive in Tehran. Due to an unfortunate series of events, including sandstorms, the rescue effort ended in complete failure with the collision of an Air Force refueling plane and a Navy helicopter. Eight men were killed, four wounded and five helicopters were abandoned without having even been in the vicinity of the hostages. The botched effort added to America's national frustration, and former President Carter believed that the disaster was instrumental to his defeat against Reagan in 1980.
The perceived political lesson from Operation Eagle Claw must have weighed heavily upon President Obama prior to sending the Navy SEALS into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden. Although the President was quick to explain that he did not want to, "spike the football," in the aftermath of the successful raid, the reality is that he could not help himself. Not only did Mr. Obama, "spike the football," he pulled off the longest end zone dance in history, which seems to be continuing to this day. His elation is understandable. It has been a tiresome game that has extended into double top-secret overtime. Not only that, the world needs to know that not all liberals are wimps. Unfortunately, most football coaches agree that one of the main rules after a touchdown is to not hand over your playbook to the opposing team.
Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator John McCain seem to believe that a large amount of top-secret information has left the building. McCain is suspicious of the fact that it seems to have been designed to make the President look good. Feinstein would rather not go that far.
For the average American, it is comforting to know that a computer virus has hindered the Iranian effort to destroy Earth. It is also fun to think of President Obama as the Godfather, sitting in the Oval Office, examining terrorist playing cards; mulling over which one gets whacked by the next drone.
In fact, the whole transparency thing is a lot of fun, but probably not so much for that Pakistani doctor, who confirmed Bin Laden's position.
Meanwhile, now that America is back to 1992 median-wealth levels, it is high-time to recall a phrase of advice from that same year by DNC strategist James Carville: "It's the economy stupid."

Santa Fe >Restaurants >
Mexican >Maria's New Mexican Kitchen
555 West Cordova Road, Santa Fe, NM | Directions 8750535.674053 -105.952777
Monday To Friday From 11:00 AM To 10:00 PM Saturday To Sunday From 12:00 PM To 10:00 PM
YUM! – I literally CRAVE the blue corn tacos. And watch out for those margaritas! The tequilla list is long and varied but whichever marg you order is going to be really strong. One big drawback is having to drive to and from the farflung location. Nobody who has had even one of the potent margaritas there should be driving! I love the place and can't wait to go back. Definitely wait for a seat in the bar, which is filled with locals and tourists alike.
Best waiter ever. – Food was great, margarita list is imposing, blah blah.
Kevin. ONE HELL OF A WAITER. I didn't time him or anything but I'm pretty sure he's the most efficient man I've ever done business with. Plus I just saw the guy carry around 15 empty margarita glasses in one hand.
The margaritas are fantastic! – The wait can be long...make a reservation. The margaritas are like no place in America, and the margarita list (or book) is incredible. Great guacamole. Average New Mexican food. The tables are close together, but it's an institution.
New Mexican standards share menu space with Santa Fe's favorite margaritas. – The Scene
A favorite for locals and tourists alike, the vibe is friendly and the tables usually full. No reservations? Free chips and salsa, a cozy fireplace and margaritas from the bar ease the pain of waiting. For the best atmosphere, bypass the main dining room, where even the tortilla lady doesn't spice up the sterile scene. The older bar area has considerably more character and a cozy vibe that suits a good tequila buzz.
The Food
While solid New Mexican standards don't disappoint, it's all about the margaritas at Maria's. The menu boasts more than 82 types of tequila and 100 margaritas that range from five dollars to more than forty. For a classic Santa Fe dinner, try blue corn enchiladas or tender tamales with enough spice to tickle your taste buds. Spare ribs get a New Mexican twist with red chile barbeque sauce and flavorful pork that practically falls off the bone.
Horrid – I was seated at the worst table in the place. The Kitchen workers would leave the kitchen, lean against the wall and stare at me. When they left I had a great view of the garbage can.
The carne adovada was awful. There are chile stems and a truckload of seeds. Made with no care whatsoever.
In spite of the kitchen workers staring at me I had a hard time getting the attention of the waitron for drink refills. I was never asked "How is your food"? I did get a bill dumped on the table in a drive-by.
Lemon juice in margaritas? riiiigggghhhhttt.
User review by bear303 – food is good new mexican cooking. great flavor every thing is hot in a chilie way. Price is good for the value. Service is slow during peak time
Avoid the patio – On our last trip to Santa Fe, we again went to Maria's. The food was not as up to par as we remembered, but still very good. They encolsed the open patio for the cooler months with a plastic tent. The cement patio with metal funiture created noise to the point you had to yell at your table mates to be heard and provided no ambiance whatsoever. When we asked to move to the dininng room, the very young hostess was less than accommodating and annoyed - this may be due to the fact that several other customers had the same request to move. Customer service - we had to flag down the wiatress for every need.
How do you solve a problem like Maria's? – When I moved to Santa Fe in 1999, I was introduced to Maria's and fell in love with it. I went there often during my two-year stint in the City Different, and always enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, the clientele, and the service. On many return trips over the last two years, I have noticed a decided downturn in the restaurant's overall quality. That sometimes happens in conjunction with remodeling, which Maria's has undergone. Pity. I'd swap the new restrooms for some of the old panache any day!
Santa Fe Favorite – My husband and I plan trips to Santa Fe annually with the intention of always returning to Maria's for our New Mexican food fix. We are never disappointed. We live in Texas and are bombarded with Tex-Mex but there is something about the New Mexican style of Mexican food that is much more appealing to us. Keep up the good work, Maria's, and we will keep coming back. Of course, it could also be the margaritas!!!!

When you hit Ctrl+Enter to test a movie or you publish it, and it is a big file that takes ages to export, YOU NEED THE CANCEL BUTTON TO RESPOND immediately.
Most of the times, it either:
- does not respond at all, or
- responds only after it completes a huge chunk of export, usually almost the entire operation. This may take SEVERAL MINUTES.
This has been so for literally YEARS, and it's unbelievable that you haven't fixed something so basic and critical.
A Cancel button must by definition be the most responsive thing in a program, otherwise it is useless.
There's no way to abort the export if the Cancel button doesn't work, except kill Flash.
This may prevent you from cancelling a long export and save your work, in case you hit Ctrl+Enter and you have forgot to save before.
For god's sake, fix it.
These are user to user forums. If you have a problem with the program design that you would like to have Adobe consider addressing you need to file a report using the link below...
Adobe - Wishlist & Bug Report
and while I agree with your frustration, there are probably other things going on that you are not considering that need to be properly managed for cancellation to occur without throwing your machine into a tailspin.

Of course, but if taking care of those things requires that much time, there's definitely something very wrong somewhere.
I won't agree with your conclusion, but that's just one opinion versus another. If it takes that long to do something, there is every possibility it takes just as long or longer to properly undo it. The ones who might know why are probably at the other end of that link I provided. Maybe you should submit there and ask if they can share an explanation.
I've submitted the report.
When cancelling an exporting/compiling operation, IF it is done properly, there's no need to "undo" an amount of things even comparable to what has been done. If that is not so, something is wrongly designed in the wey the compilation is done. And even if it wasn't so, there's always the possibility to interrupt the exporting process, free the user interface, and in the background keep doing the "cleanup". Blocking the whole authoring environment is simply ridiculous.
Also, I strongly suspect that when you click cancel and it takes ages to respond, it isn't taking long to "undo" anything, it is just still finishing doing (part of) what it was doing until it even starts responding to the request to cancel. Of course this is just speculation, but the one thing that strongly suggests I'm right is that often enough, the click on the Cancel button is simply lost, that is, it won't "take long", it just won't cancel and end up exporting as if you never clicked.
It's probably important to note that Flash Pro isn't listed in the bug report options?
You could report Flash Professional bugs by selecting Flash Authoring option.

Washington, D.C.—Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after House Republicans passed a farm bill by a vote of 216 to 208. The partisan measure failed to include the provisions from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and passed without a single Democratic vote.
"House Republicans have stooped to a new low. Unable to secure passage of a farm bill the first time around, Republicans decided to conjure up a new version late last night, strip out SNAP, and hastily push their partisan agenda through the House without a single Democratic vote. In turning their back on a long history of bipartisanship on the farm bill, Republicans abandoned the health and economic security of millions of Americans – from seniors and children to farmers and ranchers.
"Americans in the districts of every single Member of Congress needed us to work together so they wouldn't have to worry about going to bed hungry. Instead, Republicans decided to jeopardize the certainty and stability of America's rural communities, and risk taking food out of the mouths of those who need it most. It is shameful, disgraceful, and wrong – wrong for our families, wrong for our communities, and wrong for our country.
"As Americans, our democracy is only as strong as we are as a people. Our strength depends on the economic security and prosperity of every hardworking American family who aspires to become part of the middle class – the backbone of our democracy. Today, House Republicans undermined that strength. Now, it's time for them to change course and work with Democrats to protect and promote the prosperity of our children, families, and future generations."

David Luiz highlights Chelsea's passing game on Saturday as a crucial factor in becoming the first team for 11 months to beat Stoke on their own turf in the league.
The Brazilian enjoyed a fine display in the 4-0 win having returned from midfield to defence with Gary Cahill unavailable due to the birth of his son. It was his first visit to the Britannia Stadium having missed the opening game of last season due to injury.
'It was a great result, a great performance and everybody knows it is difficult to get three points at Stoke,' David Luiz reflects on the weekend win. 'But it was an intelligent game from us and this is the result.
'All the game we tried to play football on the floor. It is hard to play against Stoke City away because they play direct balls and they are a strong team in the air, so the key was when you have the ball you try to play one- or two-touch to move the big guys, and then you can take the space.
'Rafa did a great job, he showed us what we needed to do to win this game. It was unlucky for Jonathan Walters and it was good luck for us that he scored two own-goals to give us the advantage in the game, but both teams had chances to score.'
David Luiz hopes opportunities to find the net will now come readily at Stamford Bridge with back-to-back home league games next on the agenda. The squad is working hard to overcome recent difficulties winning in our own stadium.
'Sometimes you play a team with strong tactics and some teams do a great job,' he acknowledges.
'In the game against Swansea there were two mistakes from Iva [Branislav Ivanovic] and it was not true of the game. Everybody saw Chelsea create a lot of opportunities to score in the first 25 minutes and if you score one goal with these opportunities you can win 2-0 or 3-0.
'When the opposition stays back and you don't have a lot of space to play football, creating is difficult, so we need to work every day on this and find space to score goals.
'We just needed to stay working hard and show our best when we have the opportunities.'
A clip of David Luiz's post-match interview with Chelsea can be viewed here with the full interview available now via the channel's online access or on Weekend Review tonight at 6.30pm and 10pm.
Tickets for Wednesday evening's game at home to Southampton are now on general sale.

The Ottawa Office thanks constituents, friends and supporters for joining us in expressing concern over Bill C-10, the Safe Streets and Communities Act as it moved through the House of Commons. In a vote late on December 5, this bill was approved and sent to the Senate.Bill C-10 is an ambitious piece of legislation, totalling 102 pages that spell out amendments to 6 existing laws and the creation of one new law. It brings together nine separate initiatives that had been introduced in previous sessions of Parliament.While the government insists that this bill "will target crime and terrorism and provide support and protection to victims of crime," it is clear that these measures will primarily impact offenders and ex-offenders. Four of the nine initiatives in this bill propose longer or mandatory prison sentences, two would impose greater financial penalties, and two would create new barriers to reintegrating into society. In contrast, only two of the nine initiatives directly address the needs of victims, and none of the initiatives propose new crime prevention or rehabilitation strategies.MCC's programmatic experience in the field of restorative justice suggests that communities are not made safer when we focus almost all of our attention on the punishment of wrongdoers.See MCC Canada's letter to Minister Rob Nicholson on Bill C-10.See Wilma Derksen's statement to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Enhancing Avionics
New devices improve safety and situational awareness
In the world of commercial marketing and advertising one of the most used catch words is "Enhanced." The intended meaning is to elevate to a higher degree; intensify; magnify which in turn translates into raising the value and subsequently justifying an increase in profit for the marketers.
Rapid technological advancements have provided avionics manufacturers the ways and means to improve value in their products by enhancing reliability and capability.
Commercial aviation as we know it has for years depended on something referred to as "Basic T" to provide information to flight crews. This concept originated from the layout of the flight critical displays housed in the instrument panel and includes: airspeed, attitude, altimeter, and direction. Is this basic criteria still needed for flight in this day and age?
Without a doubt it is! By employing digital technology and sophisticated processors it now becomes viable to enhance the basics by super imposing supplemental information on the age-old display. Within the last 30 years we have witnessed a true renaissance in flightdeck instrumentation. Prior to the 1980s any addition to cockpit instrumentation involved locating an available space and then cutting a hole in the instrument panel, installing a gauge, running additional wires and switches, and reworking the weight and balance.
Retrofits available
The good news is that the enhancements are now available throughout the aviation industry. In many cases retrofitting older aircraft with current generation equipment often provides operational enhancements including wide area augmentation system (WAAS) and automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADSB). These changes can benefit the operator in removing aging equipment and installing devices that are often smaller, lighter, and frequently require less maintenance.
The attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) unit provides aircraft attitude and heading information to both the primary flight display (PFD) and the multiple function display (MFD), and the air data computer. Some aircraft utilize attitude heading reference systems (AHRS) units containing advanced sensors (including accelerometers and rate gyros) which enable pitch, roll, and yaw data to be displayed to the flight crew and interfaces with the magnetometer or flux detector to obtain the earth's magnetic field reference, draws on the air data computer to obtain pitot and static numbers, and also to obtain satellite navigation information.
The air data computer processes data from the pitot-static system and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor(s) and in some cases an angle of attack (AOA) probe. This unit provides pressure altitude, airspeed, mach number, vertical speed, OAT, stall, and over speed information to the integrated avionics system, and communicates with the PFD and AHRS units. The air data computer may also be connected to an automatic flight control system (AFCS).
Synthetic vision
Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) continues to be the No. 1 cause of accidents in general aviation. Pilots cannot see obstructions or they lose the horizon, and fatal accidents occur.
Synthetic vision systems (SVS), a new aircraft system technology that could nearly eliminate those accidents, has been the subject of intensive ongoing research and development and now synthetic vision technologies are moving off the drawing board into the cockpit.
Synthetic vision combines a high-resolution display, databases of terrain, and global positioning system (GPS) technology to show pilots exactly where they are and how the aircraft is oriented. The system also has an integrity-monitoring system that ensures the information synthetic vision is displaying corresponds to where the aircraft actually is.
As PC gamers know, computers can generate scenery that is real enough to draw you into the action. Aircraft software also can create "synthetic" terrain by rendering stored data into a 3-D picture. Aided by sensors, synthetic vision can improve safety and situational awareness, not just in high-level cruise, but also in high-speed, low-level maneuvers. It can improve the effectiveness of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operations, as well. The synthetic view remains clearly visible at all times.

Be more positive!Monday, July 16th, 2012
Did you know that having a positive attitude about life can help us be happier? Although sometimes we're low mood or not we are going through a good run, the ideal is that our mind will attract thoughts good and forget all the negatives.
Being positive has many advantages. Among others, the negativity can stop you, however, positivism drives you. In addition, many studies have shown that positive people are more happy. These people focus on the positive in others, making them much more enjoyable. And, believe it or not, positive people are more attractive. Who likes to surround himself with people negative?
If you start taking yourself differently and be more positive, you will notice that you have fun more. It's great that you take life as an adventure, without much fear of failure.
On the other hand, it is important to know that people living in more negative stress and are less happy and successful. In addition, these people can get to lower morale to a whole group of people, sicker and spend more time imagining scenarios bad instead of acting. (more…)

Of course, some coating upgrades are worthwhile strictly from the standpoint of improved reliability and extended pump life. For most water and wastewater applications, a good enamel may be adequate, whereas specific epoxies may be required for potable water applications. Epoxies or other polymer coatings may also be necessary for harsher environments involving abrasives, acids, caustics, salt and petroleum by-products.
Choosing which pumps to upgrade
Not all pumps will benefit from reduced-friction or corrosion-resistant coatings. Appropriate upgrade decisions require both detailed knowledge of the application and a basic understanding of pumps and pump curves. Even experienced plant personnel may find the professional advice of the pump manufacturer or a qualified service center helpful when considering pump coating upgrades.
When evaluating pumps for coating upgrades, pay close attention to the pump curves of the units under consideration. Pump curves relate the head and flow that a centrifugal pump will produce to its efficiency and required input power. As pump head increases, flow decreases—until at maximum head (shutoff head) when flow is zero. If a pump is operating correctly, head and flow will intersect at some point along the curve. Efficiency dictates the shape and location of the curve, so any improvement in efficiency (including improvements as a result of reduced-friction coatings) will tip the curve up, effectively providing more flow for the same head (see Fig. 2). This will save energy in pumps that operate at full flow and cycle as needed.
Coatings that reduce friction do so by working on the flow-side of the head-flow relationship in centrifugal pumps. Thus, a high-flow, low-head pump would benefit greatly from a reduced-friction coating, whereas a pump with very high head and low flow would not.
Reduced-friction coatings can save energy in systems that regulate flow with variable-speed drives. In these cases, more efficient pumps can run slower and still produce the same head and flow, thereby saving energy.
On the other hand, reduced-friction coatings will provide no energy savings on those systems that use a modulating discharge valve to achieve a specific flow (e.g., heating and cooling loads). In such systems, the valve increases (or decreases) friction in the discharge line, which increases (or decreases) head to control flow. If pump efficiency were to improve (providing more flow), the discharge valve would close to compensate, recreating the friction loss that the coating eliminated. (Pumps in these systems, however, may still benefit from coating upgrades that extend pump life and improve reliability by resisting corrosion and erosion.)
Good candidates for reduced-friction coatings include pumps used in municipal water and wastewater industries, refineries and petrochemical plants and in HVAC circulating applications. Coatings are less beneficial—in terms of energy savings—for pumps that operate intermittently.
Industries with high abrasive-wear applications that would benefit from corrosion- or erosion-resistant coatings include: wastewater treatment and power generation that typically handle slurries; power generation that uses river or lake water for cooling; and mining operations that have numerous dewatering and production pumps that are subject to sand and gravel.
Depending upon the application and type of upgrade being considered, it is often best to first perform a cost-benefit analysis based on known energy costs, the projected efficiency gain, expected pump life and upgrade costs.
Unfortunately, first-cost or purchase price still seems to be a major factor in pump selection—and often rules out any "extras" that could extend pump life or improve its efficiency or reliability. When facing the reality of high operating costs for energy and repairs caused by erosion and corrosion, though, it is easy to see the value of properly designed and applied surface coating upgrades. Coatings that reduce friction and, thus, improve efficiency can be justified by reduced energy usage when operating conditions meet the previously discussed criteria.
The costs of maintenance and repairs—often, significant costs, that is—represent additional opportunities for savings. Pump upgrades that improve reliability provide benefits in reduced downtime and reduced environmental risk. The critical factor in evaluating most upgrade options is to understand the operating environment and the system requirements. When a pump upgrade is a good fit, the investment is easy to justify and will continue to pay dividends for the long run. MT

Reports that the Democratic Party may add support for gay marriage to its party platform are in keeping with a significant shift of opinion on this issue among Democrats nationwide. Just four years ago, in 2008, only half (50%) of Democrats favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, while 42% were opposed. Support for gay marriage among Democrats has jumped to 65% today, more than double the percentage that is opposed (29%).
The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted June 28-July 9, 2012, among 2,973 adults, finds that the partisan divide over gay marriage continues to widen. Just 24% of Republicans now favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, which is only slightly higher than the percentage of Republicans who supported gay marriage in 2008 (19%).
Independent support for gay marriage has grown substantially since 2008. More independents today favor (51%) than oppose (40%) gay marriage; four years ago independents were divided evenly (44% favor, 45% oppose).
While President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage earlier this year drew significant news coverage and public interest, its effect on public opinion has been limited. Two consecutive national surveys conducted since May 9, when Obama made his announcement, show 48% in favor of allowing gay marriage and 44% opposed. This is virtually unchanged from a survey conducted in April, before the president's statement.

Given the choice, which would your qualifiers prefer: an afternoon in the spa or a round of golf?
In a survey of incentive winners by Insurance Conference Planner, CMI's sister publication, spa treatments surpassed golf as a preferred activity, second only to city/sightseeing tours. This is the first time treatments have outranked golf.
The trend may be because of the universal nature of spas. Not everyone plays golf, but almost anyone can enjoy a day of spa pampering.
"I recently had an incentive program where both were offered," says Karen Emanuelson, Incentive Groups and Meeting Planning manager with Tower Travel Management, Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. "Many more participants took the spa as their reward when offered both. But we still had our die-hard golfers—about 25 percent."
Emanuelson found that a lot of couples enjoyed treatments, but men who brought another man as a guest "seemed a bit reluctant" to use the spa. Many went ahead and used the spa anyway, and had only pleasant and positive comments afterward.
"Basically, I think it's becoming more widely accepted for men to enjoy spa services," says Emanuelson.
"Spas have grown tremendously in popularity in recent times—in part due to the growing number of world class facilities, but also as a refresher for attendees: both men and women," says Brad Langley, COO, Creative Group Inc., Appleton, Wis. "The old adage that spa treatments are 'only for women' has long gone by the wayside."

Take a look at some of Friday's midday movers:
Broader markets were little changed following a slew of earnings and amid continuous media coverage of terror events stemming from the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Most of the key S&P large-cap sectors were in the green.
IBM was the worst performer on the S&P 500 after disappointing investors with its first-quarter earnings report. IBM is often seen as a barometer of broader economic strength and an indicator of government and corporate tech spending.
Chipotle Mexican Grill was the best performer on the S&P 500 index after the fast-casual restaurant chain delivered better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
Capital One Financial popped after the credit-card company posted first-quarter earnings that beat analysts' expectations and said that it is seeking regulatory approval to begin a share buyback.
Celanese was higher even after the company warned that fiscal 2013 earnings per share growth would be 12 and 14 percent, below the 15 percent that analysts were expecting. Global chemical company Eastman Chemical also surged, reports suggest a move higher in sympathy with Celanese.
Kroger and Duke Energy were among companies that hit new multi-year highs. Meanwhile, Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble and Colgate Palmolive were among companies that hit new all-time highs.
Hershey also hit a new all-time high for the third time in the last four sessions.
Apple hit a new 52-week low for the third-consecutive session. EMC and Apache also hit 52-week lows.
